I ask Sal to be sure and get me some detail pix, so that all he took. I guess I'll see the rest of the car next week. It's 63V1062, the 4th R2 hawk built, might be the oldest still around. 70,000 mile, unrestored Survivor that needs some detailing. Still has what appears to be some of the factory hoses, original paint and interior with new carpets. Lame pix here:
Looks like a good trivia question, John: How many R2/4-speed GT Hawks were built without a tachometer? NICE car indeed; 'glad it survives and will get re-blown. 'Can't remember seeing a nicer deck lid overlay anywhere of late. BP
John, That car is so nice. I didn't think there were any cars like that left to be found anymore .Do you know what gears are in it ? The car has so much potential. Maybe you should take it to the PSMCD's .
I susspect 3.73' s, but could be 3.31. I'll check next week. It's
2000 miles from the PSMCD's.snipped-for-privacy@aol.com wrote:
John: Are you sure it is 63V1062?
In the list of 1963 JT-powered cars, the VINs jump from 1006 to 1098 between JT-powered cars. The first Ermine White R2/4-speed hawk is
63V1620, so maybe you guys transposed some numbers. And that would be the 3rd, not 4th, R2/4-speed Hawk built. Bob.
JTS1008 was installed in 63V1620, John. Just some numbers easily transposed in your correspondence, I am sure. Bob.
TOO Too Cool!
YEP......it had to be ordered when the build sheet was made out!
D> I think the engine # was JTS 1008.
Were you a Studebaker dealer Louis?
